Zoob T-Rex
Client: Trendmasters
Tools: Maya, Photoshop
Purpose: toy design, package art, catalog image
Notes: I built the Zoob T-Rex with original parts according Zoob's instructions, then removed the head and photographed it with my Sony 2-megapixel camera. I then modeled the new parts in Maya: 4-part head plus 7 spines. I composited the photo with the CG elements in Photoshop. In 2001, I hadn't yet figured out the importance of realistic lighting and materials in CG, thus the bright green head with hot white reflections. ;)
